New Pentax K-3 Mark III Monochrome Forum
Section dedicated to the new camera
By PF Staff in Site News on Apr 24, 2023
By popular demand, we have recently added a dedicated forum section where you can discuss the new Pentax K-3 Mark III Monochrome and all things related to the exciting new monochrome DSLR.
The camera has seen overwhelming demand since its announcement on April 12th. In the US, pre-orders are being accepted at B&H Photo, Adorama, and directly from Ricoh. Sources indicate that the first production run of this camera has already sold out. However, it is not a limited edition model, so pre-orders will be fulfilled on a first-come, first served basis.
